PLEASE HELP ME!

[Farmers Chicken Farm]

What does her comb look like? Is her crop kind of squishy? If you gently press it does she look like she’s gasping? I recently treated my leghorn for sour crop. She had white goopy droppings, the shell wasn’t developing on her eggs and they came out with her droppings.
Search the symptoms and treatment of sour crop.
Good luck.

Her comb is a little purplish on the back of it and is more limp then normal. I have researched a ton about sour crop. How did you treat your hen?

She has a "water belly." We followed a youtube video and successfully drained the yellowish liquid out of her. We drained 64 ccs out of her. She is on a vitamin supplement now and an electrolyte. Does anybody know some recovery tips or helpful advice for successful recovery. I am still studying about water belly, but if you know anything about it, feel free to share you knowledge!

Water belly is pretty much a death sentence. Draining it can possibly prolong her life a short time IF she doesn't get another infection from the drain site.

You have had quite a few birds with similar issues.
Now would be a good time to take a good look at how you feed them. Prevention of these illnesses is best because they are not curable.

Our birds free range and eat a quality organic layer feed. They barely ever get treats, so I am not sure why she has it, but if I can prolong her life and let her live her last couple of years with happiness and quality, then I will.

Birds don't live for years with water belly.

Are you going to be able to go to a vet to get her started on antibiotics?

Are you sure you just didn't drain out all the vinegar water you squirted up her earlier?

Let your poor bird rest in peace.

Yes, the vinegar I gave her was white, clear, and of course, smelled like vinegar. This is the color water belly liquid is supposed to be. It was yellowish, odorless, and a lot of it. And I didn't give my hen 64 ccs of vinegar. I gave her about 5 ccs of vinegar.

I am fighting for my hen to live. It is heart breaking for me to see her in pain, but after watching a video and reading the comments, many hens have gone on to live healthy, quality years after being drained from waterbelly. I love her so much and want her to live a longer, happy life.

What do you mean by "rest in peace?" like, let her die??? I hope that is not what you meant!

What I mean is you are playing a guessing game and you are probably making her worse.
First you squirt vinegar up her vent then you poke holes in her.
Let her rest.
